OUR CANDIDATES
For Congress :
Charges' II Thomas
For Solicitor :
Edward W Pou
Go To The Convention.
On next Monday the Demo-
crats of the county will meet in
Lillington to select candidates
for county officers and a mem
ber of the legislature. Every
Democrat in the county is earn
estly urged to go to Lillington
on that day and give one day't
work for the interest of the
Democratic party, and above al
for the interests of the county
In this convention, we under
stand, every Democrat wh
goes will be allowed to cast i
vote. For instance, if on
township should have 15 vote.
in the convention and the then
are sixty De nocrats presem
from that township each man h
entitled to cast one-sixtieth o
15, or i of a vote for the can
didate of his choice. Undei
this plan the majority can no
prevent the minority from rep
resentation and it is almost im
possible for the friends ' of on
candidate to take advantage oi
the friends of another candidate
This convention a!nd its ac
tion are of vital importance ti
the party and the interests of
county. The people pay Un
taxes, and as the largest pari
of the taxes of the county i
paid by men who vote the Dem
ocratic ticket, we feel that the
Democrats are the ones to sav
how and by whom these taxes
should be levied and collected
and who should make the laws
to govern our county. To d
this we must put forth, from our
convention next Monday, for
candidates, men of unimpeach
able character, politically or
otherwise, and so divide the
candidates throughout the
county that, as nearly as pos
sible, every section will be rep
resented. We must put forth
men who are competent for the
places we want them to fill. W
must&etiuen that can make a can
vass, fearless and who will ex
pose the rottenness and corrupt
rule now upon us in Norti
Carolina. Harnett is expected
to do her part to redeem th
State and with the candidates
we name next Mondav We feel
sure that when the votes ar
ji j . t .t
counted on tne evening or tno
8th of November, she will be
found standing on the side of
Anglo-Saxon Supremacy for
North Carolina.
Let not there be any bicker-
ings or heart burnings after the
convention next Monday be
cause you failed to get the can
didate of your choice, but leave
the convention with the de
termination that each candidate
shall be elected and that Har
nett shall again be added to the
white roll of the Democratic
party, the party of white men
and which believes that white
men should rule North Caro
lina. The negro proballj' thinks
that because the Democratic
party has made White Supre
macy its party slogan, that it
is an enemy to him. Such,
however, is not - the case. It
has his interest at heart and
will ever protect him and his
property and wants him to be
come a better citizen. Its rec
ord in the past is proof of these
facts. It believes that he, as a
race, is inferior to the Anglo
Saxon, and that this country
must be governed by the white.
men. lhe negro lived more in
peace with us under Democratic
rule than under negro rule that
we are having. His life and
property were safer and his
crimes anp misdemeanors were
less. We feel kindly to the. ne
gro and wish him to improve
in circumstances every way,
but we will never believe that it
is right for him to Nkold office
whose functions are to'be exer-
cised.over white men.

Who Is The Munchausen?
"The Democratic Executive
Committee of Harnett county
has issued a manifesto to
the ?
voters of that county which
proves that Baron Munchausen
is a back number. Josephus
Daniels in the prime of his
young manhood cannot hold
the Harnett county committee
a light. They say that the in
stitute for the white deaf and
dumb has passed under the con
trol of a negro politician. The
institute for the white deaf and
dumb is located at Morganton,
in Burke1 county. Its Princi
pal is Prof. E. McK. Goodwin,
a Wake county man, a white
man and a Democrat. There is
not a single negro connected
in any wTay with the institution.
This committee says that 'we
have seen our penal and chari
table institutions turned over
to incompetent and corrupt pol
iticians. This may be true, but
our charitable institutions in the
main are still under the control
of Democrats, the ones the pre
sent State administration found
in charge when they came into
power. This committee takes
up two columns in the County
Union with just such falsehoods
as the two mentioned' And yet
one of the men who signs this
- tj
so called address professes to be
a Christian teacher, the official
head of a great religious denom
ination in this section.
The above paragraph is clip
ped from the Progressive Farmer
of this week. In refering to it

deaf and dumb have been
moved to Morganton, the Pro
gressive Farmer thinks it has
discovered a mare's nest. The
name of the institution has no
been changed and it is the Har
nett Democrats who are righ

It is a fact that practically the
negro Jim Young is at the head
of the directors of this institu
tion in which the blind white
children are educated, it is a
shame and a disgrace, and if
the Progressive Farmer had not

Editor J. W. Bailey, of the
Biblical .Recorder, has spoken
out against Governor x Rus:
sell and the State Board?of Ag
riculture, and! has thereby in-
curred the wrath of nearly all
the Republicans in the state.
Since his expose of the Agri
cultural trade one of the Stew
arts, State Printers, has made
some insinuations 4 against
Bailey and he replies in a letter
to Stewart accusing him and
his brother ' of fraudulently
changing the law regulating the
price oi tne state printing ana
thereby getting a larger price
for the wrork than the legislature
intended. It will also be re
membered that there is a suit
pending brought by the State
Treasurer against the State
Printers to get money back
which they obtained, Bailey
says fraudulently. This is Re
publicanism in North Carolina
mat party has always had an
unsavory record and modern
Republicanism has changed
little since 18G8.
Thousands of persons have been cured
of piles by using De Witt's Witch Hazel
salve. It heals i promptly and cures ec

premacy" has solidified the
Re
Su
ne
groes, ast mm 11 any more ne
groes in North Carolina voted
the Democratic ticket in 189G
1 1
than in 1C76. In 1876 the is
sue in North Carolina was
White Supremacy. To-day
there are more negroes holding
office in North Carolina than
then. The negro rule of to-day
is worse than it was then. It
had been been on us for several
years then and every count7
and the .state too was bankrupt
or nearly so. It has just been
thrust upon us again and from
the records made in three years
and a half, it will take it only
a short time to squander what
we have saved in twenty years
and leave us bankrupt and in
debt again. North Carolina is in
a bad way .when unprincipled
white men and negroes rule.
Now is the time to strike to pre
vent disaster and every true
white North Carolinian will
join the party of Vance and
rout the "enemies of good gov
ernment from office.

There are certain Kepuplj-
cans who are trying to fix up a
slate by which Maj. John W.
Graham, of Hillsboro, is to be
the fusion nominee for judge 111
the J?ifth district. There are
three reasons why this deal will
not materalize :1. Major Graham
will not lend his honorable
name to the; gang now despoil
ing his state ; 2. If the Repub
licans think! they have a chance
they will name another Nor
wood or Robinson of their own
party ; 3. The Populists would
not support Major Graham be
cause he is an avowed and con
sistent advocate of . the gold
standard. News & Observer.
The editor of the Evans Citv. Penn .

"I think De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve

Funny Isn 'tm It.
The County Union published
at Dunn in Harnett County is a
funny paper. In its issue of
July. 27th it advises the negro
of Harnett County, to demand
recognition. It says they are
entitled to part of the county
ticket and in the same issue and
same column it calls upon the
people of the county to organi
ze what it terms. "White Su--
premacy Clubs." Wants one
in every school house in the
County. Is consistency a jewT
el? We clip this from this week's
issue of the Progresssive Far
mer. If consistency had been
applied all through the Repub
lican and Populist fusion two
years ago some negro would
probably be presiding as Secre
tary of Agricu' are instead of
Editor Ramsey of the Progress
ive Farmer. He owes his elec
tion to the neerroes of North
Carolina for they are the large
majority of the Republican
party and if they would demand
consistency in distributing the
offices very few white men
would be put on the Republi
can ticket.
We think our course consis
tent. As a white citizen of
North Carolina we believe that
white men, should rule North
Carolina, but we do not think
it consistent with the negro who
does the lion's share of the
voting to give the lion's
share of the offices to a few
white men who vote with the
negro because they can, or ex
pect to get ari office.
Win your battles against disease by
acting promptly. One Minute Cough
Ctue produces immediate results. When
taken early it prevents consumption and
in later stages it furnishes prompt relief.

The Democratic admistra
tion leased the Anson farm o

z,4uu acres tor jpi.iu per acre
per annum. Besides the arable
land and there is none better
1 there is a large quantity of
woodland, and with the" lease is
the privilege to cut and sell this
wood. The Democrats only
had this farm one year, and the-
wood cut that year amounted to
$4,000, we are informed. This
besides excellent crops of cotton
and other products. Mr.
Leazar says the farm paid its
